Cute House. Needs Work.

A Question From The Children That I Can Answer

Peace.

Happy New Year!

Last night, as I watched the girls, ages 8 and 10, trying hard to keep their eyes open, while we live-streamed the earth cam of Times Square and all its midnight hoopla, I started thinking that people make an awful big deal about turning the calender page. I started to wonder if it was really worth it, even as I ran out into the street to bang pots and pans. Then this morning, I read this post by my smart friend, Hecate, and she reminds me that, yes, it is worth it. Go, read.

Peace.

My Manga Girls

The girls are now addicted to photobooth. I think we may need a second computer!

Only an hour to go before midnight here. We're all trying to stay awake. Keep your eyes wide open!

Twinkly Lights

I finally put the deer up yesterday--I wanted to get them out there before the snow came. When the snow did come, it wasn't as much here as we had hoped, but it was still very beautiful. The girls and I strolled the neighborhood last night in the fierce wind, then came into the warm house for cocoa and cookies.

For Echidne

I was reading this article over at Echidne's, and I thought of some of these scenes from my daycare some years ago.

The Size of a Buick

Yes, this spider was in our bathroom last week (haven't seen it since -- Boo!)

Happy October!
